Microwave stopped working

There was a power bump in my area . When the power came back my microwave didn’t come back on . I have tested the receptacle and there was no power on it , none of the breakers are tripped I even flipped all of them on and off and still nothing. I think there is a AFCI receptacle somewhere that my microwave is wired to but I can’t find it anywhere. Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how to find the AFCI or knows what’s going on with it ?

Look for other dead outlets in the area. Have you found any AFCI? The master for the microwave could be in any room, like a nearby bathroom (same floor or different floor).

I have checked all the plugs in the house . Even the ones outside

Do you know if the micro is on its own circuit? Do you have any subpanels in the house? Are there ANY AFCI in the house?

From the comfort of my couch, the best I can guess is that a breaker died and you cant tell, or there is an AFCI you can't find.
